Magic Elves Notebook

[Gingerbug]

On of our projects for the near future will be to set up a Magic Elf Notebook....I am planning to ask the famous Melinda to create a cover, spine, and section dividers for us. We will work together to create ideas, recipes, celebrations, and I will be providing you with a way to access my Magic Elves stories so you can print them for your notebook....you can even change the elf names if you want....so they will be about your elf...

I can't wait to get this one started.

:grin: In the meantime I bought a mini binder at the goodwill store for just 75 cents and that will be home to the Elf Journal. I figure little elves need a little journal. The mini sheet protectors (plastic sleeves) are $4.99 for a pack of 25 so that is the next item I need to purchase. Now I have to find the paper to fit or cut some down to fit. Anyone else know of any and where I can buy them????

Okay...its the busiest time of the year...anyone interested in getting started this season with the Magic Elves Notebook? Chime in...and depending on interest we might just get this launched...it will be pretty simple...setting up a notebook, making sections for

1. Stories
2. Elf Names List
3. Elf Letters (sample notes, riddles, journal entries)
4. Mischief Ideas
5. Celebration Ideas
6. Elf Gift Ideas/Lists

I am. I don't have an elf yet but i'm on the hunt for a special one. I even have an online friend in another state looking at flea markets for me. hehe But I would love to get my notebook started for that.

Count me in. This year I'm hosting a tea party with some friends but that's about it. Starting now for next year I hope that I can expand my plans. I don't have any children but I would like to do something special for my DBF next year and maybe my younger nieces and nephews.

I was all set to order the elves and then I received the news that my ex is going out on disability so I don't know how long til the net child support payment (already been over a month) so I too am on the hunt for a cheaper but just as memorable elf or three...hehe

Guys....now that Christmas ornaments are being put out,.....check those....some times they have some fairly good sized stuffed elf ornaments that would work well...

 

[Little Elf]

Yes, a couple weeks ago I checked the dollar store here and found a cute little elf ornament (probably about 8 or 9 inches) that I can use. I'm hoping to find a couple more. :grin:

I love the Magic Santa key! Jackfrosty, if I remember correctly you are in Canada right? If so did you have to pay any additional fees when your Santa key arrived?
TIA

 

[jackfrosty]

Oh I got dinged BIGTIME for shipping! but I made the order for a few friends and we all split on it. I thought you could also just use an old key and put an elaborate Christmas ribbon on it.

 

[Snowybear]

Thank you for letting me know I am going to make a key then.
